audio doesn't work in a fresh installation of 64 bit version

Post by wurlycat »

Hi
last Friday I've downloaded and installed KXStudio 12.04.1 Live-DVD 64bit on my PC.

Motherboard: ASUS M4A77T
Processor: 4x AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 965 Processor
Memory: 4GB DDR3 1800
Graphic adapter : GeForce 210/PCIe/SSE2/3DNOW!
Hard Disk 1 : CORSAIR SSD SATA 3 120 GB
DVD writer: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-109
CD writer : PLEXTOR CD-R PX-W4824A
Sound Card: ECHO Mia MIDI
USB-MIDI Adapter : M-AUDIO Midisport 2x2 Anniversary Edition


The sound card built into the motherboard has been disabled by bios

It seems that the whole installation process is completed without errors but when I've tried to listen some mp3 or to test the audio Playback from the Sound and Video Configuration of Phonon I can not hear anything through the headphones.
I checked the volume control that outputs were enabled and I activated mia echomixer . I see the signal on the VU-meters when I play something but I can not hear anything from the output of the sound card Echo Mia MIDI.
If I boot the version of Ubuntu that is installed on another drive that I have used up to now, the audio works properly, so I would say that from the hardware point of view there is no problem.

aplay-l returns this otput:

I there something I need to check to activate the output ?
I'm a newbie and probably I do not notice something that would be trivial

I think that for a musical usage of my PC to hear something from the headphones is something crucial :) .

What does Cadence report as the Device/Interface?

Under Cadence, System tab > Configure > Jack Settings, Driver tab > field: Device/Interface

In that field i find :
Device/Interface: hw:0

and the field is disabled

I've added my user to audio user (sudo adduser <userid> audio) and I've tried to reset settings in Cadence, setting
Device/Interface = Mia
but nothing happens.
If I exit from the window and open the window again it seems that reappers the old value in Device/Interface (hw:0)
It seems I cannot save the settings.

If I had this isssue, I would re-enable the MB sound system in BIOS, reboot, and see if it works. Whether it does or not, this would offer a starting point for further investigation...

Do you have KXStudio on the older installation/"other disk"? If so, you might check settings there. Maybe run

aplay -l

from it and note any differences.

No, I haven't KXStudio installed on the other Disk,
I prefer to keep the two distributions separated . One for musical use and one for all other uses.
I need at least one system that "works" as "general pourpose" .

I've seen that probably I've 3 audio devices on the system,
- Echo Mia MIDI
- the sound card integrated in the MB
- the device in the Graphic Card that has an HDMI connector.

I have never used 64-bit versions. (However, I've read that a 32-bit version should work fine on a 64-bit anyway.)

While it's true that there are audio production set-ups for linux, in my personal experience, I have found that a distribution may work fine for making music as is. For example, I am writing this on a PC that is about 10 years old, pentium 4, 1GB of RAM. I am running Bodhi Linux, and I am able to use it both for music and work. It does everything. Of course, your system is newer, so I don't see why it should be difficult to get it running just fine.

The newest kernels for linux are very efficient, and some people get Jack to perform just fine (very low latency) even without a realtime kernel.

So my suggestion would be to try something like Bodhilinux. It is very light-weight (fits on a CD) and you can get a lot of stuff working right out-of-the-box.

I'd avoid that, as you stand the chance of just adding more drama to the mix.

I would be interested to see jack logs when you attempt to set the correct soundcard (hw:0 is your HDMI card)

Maybe too obvious: after you choose the new device, that doesn't set it. To set it, you have to click "Switch Master" or alternatively restart JACK.

I've launched Catia and I've seen that in the Canvas the sound card Mia Midi is not present (as analog input and output) . There are only the Mia midi ports.
Is this normal ?
If I play an mp3 with SMplayer, the player appears in the canvas but its ouputs is connected to a block named System with two pins named playback_1 and playback_2.
Is this block the end of the chain or there should be a block named "Mia" or something similar ?

In Jack Logs I found the following :

If you right click on one of the "two pins named playback_1 and playback_2" and select from the resultant dropdown: "Get Info", it should tell you what the name of the system master is, plus other information that may be helpful.

For example, in my case, in the field for 'Port Alias #1', it tells me the name of the USB interface I have set as my master.

Last night after reading your interventions and a bit of documentation, I made ​​some changes:
- I uninstalled QjackCtl that I had previously installed by mistake
- I restarted the system
- I resetted the parameters
- I set again field: Device/Interface = Mia
- I changed the value of field "Bridge Type" from "ALSA --> Loop --> JACK" to "ALSA --> JACK"
- I clicked "Switch Master"

I don't know whether and which of these actions did the job but when I double clicked on an mp3 file I heard music in headphones .... and I was happy .

“That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for wurlycat.” :)

I tried some nice sound with ZynAddSubFX and Bristol pressing the keys on the PC keyboard but then I went to bed because my eyes were closing.

I hope it is not an alignment of planets and that this evening will still work all :D

Try going back to ALSA - loop - JACK because I suspect that was not the issue. Would be nice to know that it works that way still.

There should be like a grid or table with various computer hardware, and the things necessary to get them set up. Something quick and easy to consult..

Aha there's the problem - you ran it with qjackctl. :) Solved :)
